    Ashfield Valley estate in Rochdale. It was completed in 1969 and while it was initially popular, like many housing estates at the time, it quickly declined and by the 1980s was a haven for drug users, glue sniffers and squatters as well as being home to a large number of families, OAP’s and single people. In January 1987, frozen water pipes cracked, flooding 15 of the 26 blocks. Many of the tenants were evacuated, with some having to sleep in a local church. 23 blocks were demolished in 1992.




  • 22 children and two adults had been infected, all of whom were unvaccinated […] the cases had been concentrated in a “more insular” community in the county, among people who attend church and private schools together. Many of the children are also home-schooled

    After how groups like these actively spread covid, I’m really struggling to find any sympathy for them.




  • “There were a lot of people who were like, ‘We’ve got to stop the groups from doing this.’ … People are concerned that they’re saying we’re not doing enough, but we’re not in the majority,” said one member. […] Some Democrats see the callers as barking up the wrong tree given their limited power as the minority party in Congress.

    So? Republicans have been in the minority and they’re still successful in blocking the Democrats’ agenda. I don’t see why the Democrats are so reluctant to turn the tables when it’s literally our entire fucking country on the line. They should refuse everything the Republicans try to do.
